Chapter 292 One person, one city without the Big Three
The Celtics sideline ball, this ball played a regular last-minute tactic, giving Ray Allen, who felt good tonight, two unballed single covers at the top of the arc in a row.
Ray Allen ran along the top of the arc to the bottom corner and received a basketball passing from another sideline. He made a quick move and narrowed the score difference back to a single-digit three-pointer.
The turning point of Anthony's sent-off was very critical. Not only did the Celtics narrow the score difference and gain the ball, but more importantly, the confidence of the Celtics players has come.
As soon as this ball was scored, the defensive end seemed to have increased its intensity once. Of course, such intensity does not refer to malicious fouls or other operations, but has improved in other aspects.
During the positional battle, Lin Yang was double-teamed and transferred the ball to Shampoo at the bottom corner.
Three-pointers were taken, but Ray Allen's not let go very quickly. Although the elderly were no longer bouncing, their excellent static physical fitness was still there. The 196cm standard scoreback height and excellent arm span made him play a certain role in Shampoo's repair defense. Shampoo's own little bit is just defense, and three-pointers can only be considered average. There is no surprise that this ball is not shot.
Rondo got rebounds in the inside, after all, it was Long's center, and the rebounds were quite stable, and then he immediately started to advance.
In the Celtics team, only Brandon Bass can cooperate with Rondo to run fast breaks, but sometimes two people are enough to run fast breaks, especially among them, Rondo, a player who can break through and pass.
The ball was pushed to the free throw line and passed to Brandon Bass who moved from the other side, who received the ball and completed a heavy slug with both hands.
The Celtics' offense and defense have both come up, and Anthony was sent out, which is their best chance to win the away game.
At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics had narrowed the original double-digit score difference to 2 points. Of course, this is also because Lin Yang was resting off the court. Their offense was indeed a bit difficult to play when they lacked Lin Yang and Anthony. Stoudemire and Feidun tried their best and performed well in the second half of the third quarter. But compared with the Celtics, who were already planning to fight for the hard work, such performance was obviously not enough.
"The difference in 2 points is enough, I can only say that the Celtics' tactics have worked!" Barkley shook his head. He was no longer optimistic that the Knicks could protect his home court tonight, even though Lin Yang looked quite good now.
But the Knicks fans don’t think so. You can always believe Lin Yang! This sentence is not just a saying.
In the fourth quarter, as soon as Lin Yang appeared, the MVP shouting continued.
"Hey! Lin, you are so popular!" Stoudemire, who played with Lin Yang, was quite jealous when he saw this scene. When he just came to the Knicks last year, he had just arrived at the Knicks.
This is the first superstar player to join in the 21st century. As for the cancerous backcourt of Marbury Francis who spent $110 million to win, it hasn't been given a while and is really not qualified to become a superstar.
When Stoudemire first appeared, such cheers rang out in the audience. At that time, he thought he was the Knicks' future in recent years. Unexpectedly, he had just passed a year and he had become the third child in the team.
"Of course, you haven't cut Mount Hua for so long, so it's normal for fans to climb the wall."
Just as fans expected, when Lin Yang returned to the court, the Knicks' entire offense changed.
The Celtics defended people when Lin Yang was away, and Lin Yang changed to joint defense as soon as he came on the court, which obviously meant to limit Lin Yang's breakthrough.
However, what is the best thing to break the joint defense? That is three points.
Lin Yang faced Rondo in the middle of the arc top, but there was also Avery Bradley's assisted defense on the left. In this way, on the right, it was Bass who was watching the two people for the time being. Lin Yang turned to Shamport, and Shamport immediately turned to Brewer's hand at the bottom line.
The Celtics' joint defense was quite fast, and they soon assisted in defense, because they themselves understood that the Knicks could not make the three-pointer.
They did not notice that Lin Yang had cut in. Brewer's pass was sent to Lin Yang's hand. He took off directly with the ball without pulling or dodging. Lin Yang dunked the ball on Pierce's head who was assisting in defense.
Lin Yang scored a lot tonight, and he scored a lot of points during the offense. He scored 17 points in the first half and 8 points in the third quarter. With the 2 points just now, he has 27 points. But this is Lin Yang's first dunk tonight, and he still attacked the inside without hesitation while the Celtics defended fiercely in the front.
"Sorry, I want to win? Let's talk about it before you defend yourself!"
Rondo broke through Lin Yang and completed a layup, which was a response to the goal just now.
But Lin Yang immediately continued his offense. Since it was a joint defense, it was impossible to be very close to defending. Lin Yang, who has been hard-working in recent times, pulled up and made a three-pointer.
Falling! The daily training camp is not in vain. Whoever dares to keep a distance from themselves in the future will definitely be the one who can teach them how to behave.
This was considered to have disrupted the Celtics' joint defense for two consecutive rounds.
The defense was not enough, and the offense was also problematic. Rondo's pass was beautiful, Brandon Bass's catch was also comfortable, but under the Knicks' basket was a player named Chandler.
The big hat flew away! The fourth block tonight, and Lin Yang quickly started his counterattack when he got the ball, and the speed was very fast.
A one-stop layup was successful. Lin Yang's counterattack was effective.
The score gap continued to widen, and Lin Yang scored 7 points in a row in the fourth quarter. This scoring speed and efficiency made the Celtics a little unresponsive.
The Knicks' shooting percentage dropped slightly next, but most of the missing balls were lost by character players. At such a critical moment, the two substitute guards, Shampoo and Jeremy Lin, were indeed affected. Their average efficiency was frequent, and Fatton seemed to have no feel.
But Lin Yang is different. He only scored 7 points in the first 21 points, and at the middle distance, he scored 12 of the team's 15 points in the first period of the fourth quarter.
"One person, one city. By the way, I always thought the Knicks were the Big Three, but at this time, I saw Lin as if LeBron in the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals, carrying the Knicks alone."
James scored 29 points in the last 30 points of the Cavaliers and scored 25 points in a row. This is the most legendary abnormal playoff in James' career, and now Lin Yang is doing very well.
